I’ve been making homemade Elderberry Syrup for many years now because it’s full of immune boosting vitamins and antioxidants. I like to use homemade remedies when I can because I feel they are better for the health of my family. Taking a dose of homemade Elderberry Syrup every morning is a great way to naturally ward off sickness during cold and flu season.

I realized this year that Elderberry Syrup can be made quicker in the Instant Pot and so I thought I would give it a try to see what I thought. It was great! I love any excuse to use my Instant Pot and it cooked and boiled down quicker than the stove-top method. Give it a try. I know you’ll LOVE it. 🙂

Instant Pot Elderberry Syrup

makes appox. 1 pint

3 cups water

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp whole or ground cloves

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

2/3 cup raw apple cider vinegar

1 cup honey

Step 1: Add all ingredients except honey to Instant Pot and stir.

Step 2: Secure lid on Instant Pot and set on manual high pressure for 7 minutes.

Step 3: Once the cooking time is up, do a quick pressure release and remove the lid.

Step 4: Turn on the saute function and let simmer until liquid is reduced by half. (This will take 15-20 minutes. You will need to keep an eye on it to make sure that it doesn’t boil down too much and burn.)

Step 5: Once liquid has reduced by half, turn off Instant Pot.

Step 6: Strain liquid into a bowl and let it cool.

Step 7: Once liquid has cooled, stir in honey.

Step 8: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
